What Are The Difference Between The Cerazette And Cerelle Contraceptive Pills?

what is the difference between the Cerazette and Cerelle contraceptive pills? I have just gone to take my recently filled prescription to find that the type of pill prescribed is different. Its late on Friday night and I have no hope of contacting anyone about the change until Monday, I am all out of my previous prescription and so I am unsure on what the best course of action is, should I talk the new medication not knowing anything about it or how it will effect my body or should I wait and miss 3 days? I originally begun to talk the pill due to a irregular and heavy menstrual cycle and I have found that the mini pill Cerazette has stopped them so all I get is the occasional discomfort or pain around the time when I would usually have it. Please get back to me ASAP Thank you Sarah-Louise Griffiths
